Re: Collaboration? 2030 hours
"Might be a good idea if we're going to work together on this," Eric agreed somewhat reluctantly.
"We're here hunting down the kidnappers of a certain Fiora Cutler, the lead singer and composer for the German band Nachtuhu. She was snatched on Saturday night following a sell-out concert in Boston. Five thugs with uzis broke into their hotel hotel as the band returned from the show. Four security men, six hotel employees, an off-duty police officer and two friends of the group were killed. Cutler's husband, guitarist Richard Kalmer, and five others were injured."
"The police and FBI have nothing and no ransom has been demanded. The only clues they have are the eyewitness reports of black-clad roughs bursting into the hotel hallway, the use of 9mm ammunition, a blown·in service door, and the bodies of hotel employees in the main service stairwell. The police officer was killed when the kidnappers made their getaway in a stolen van, which later turned up abandoned in Lawrence, Massachusetts, with no prints and no further leads. The attack was estimated to have taken just three minutes, with the main hallway assault taking just over 55 seconds. The FBI is looking into left-wing hate groups as possible culprits due to Cutler's right wing leanings, but that's gone nowhere."
"Through our contacts we've found who the broker was who set up the kidnapping, and traced back from there to our mutual friend, Smith, who was apparently acting on behalf of a client. We need to know who that client was so we can pay them a visit and persuade them to give up whatever information they've got."
"Now, your turn."
